FAR - Faraway Area Reform by SparrowPrince

DESCRIPTION

FAR optimizes and improves over 6000+ distant land textures, which means more performance and a more stutterfree experience. Other mods will just edit one or two textures, but I have gone the extra mile to pack inas much detail as possible. For some reason, Bethesda made a big error when saving their distant land texturesand made them use twice as much memory as needed. This mod also fixes that while adding said extra detail.Note: Nuka World and Far Harbor distant land textures don't have any problems.

VERSIONS

Default = 512x512 with some 256x256 pixel files (no noticeable quality loss) at 170kb/47kb a texture.Reduced = 256x256 pixel files at 47kb a texture (same as Skyrim).The reduced files also contain the full-size noise textures (two textures at 1024x1024 pixels) so you hopefully can't distinguish each version as much. I'm hoping this will make the reduction MUCH less noticeable while still keeping a major performance advantage over the default sizes.

INSTALLATION

Install and uninstall with a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager is recommended. If you want to installmanually, you will need to drag and drop your choice(s) into your Data folder. There is plenty of information on the internet regarding manual installation.

COMPATIBILITY

Should work with anything that doesn't use the same texture files as this does. If in doubt, make sure this modis getting higher priority in your load order over other similar mods. You can usually place this mod anywhere in your load order if no conflicts are detected.

SUPPORT

External support will be few and far between due to life stuff. Please stand by!
